Gluaiseacht Poblachtach Forásach

The Gluaiseacht Poblachtach Forásach (GPF) was a conservative electoral alliance formed by Fine Gael and Sinn Fein during the 1957 general election. The alliance, whose name means "Progressive Republican Movement" in Irish, was the successor of Comhaontas na Ceart, a previous Fine Gael-Sinn Fein partnership. However, the GPF embraced a more modern form of conservatism, championing social reform, economic liberalism, and Irish republicanism, while anti-communism and Catholic social conservatism were other aspects of the GPF's ideology.

During its government, the GPF slightly decreased taxes and resumed administration and education funding, easing the measures taken to end the Fiachsteria economic crisis of 1946-56. On 5 July 1957, the GPF outlawed capital punishment, and made the legal system based on social justice on 6 March 1958. On 19 March 1958, the GPF undertook a controversial decision when it decided to covertly support the IRA against the United Kingdom, worsening relations with the British government. By year's end, the GPF rose taxes once more, but only as a temporary measure while education, administration, and social spending were returned to moderate levels. The party went on to grant equal rights to minorities, another piece of progressive legislation.

During the 1961 general election, the GPF was the second alliance, but each of its constituent members again fell behind the Irish Labor Party in individual support. Fianna Fail returned to government under Finbar Brannigan, and the GPF dissolved.
